Chapter 65 [Update 1]
In Mr. Ji's opinion, Jiang Ning did so well in the quiz this time, which meant that he must have spent a lot of energy on the competition class. He went to say hello to Mr. Wang out of respect, but he didn't expect that Mr. Wang would directly object and tell Jiang Ning not to put too much energy on the competition.
If every teacher says this to students, how can his competition class achieve good results? Didn’t No. 1 Middle School invite him here just to improve the performance of its competition class? If the teacher and students don't cooperate, no matter how hard he tries or how much he teaches, it will be difficult to make the competition class improve.
This made him a little depressed for a moment, and he didn't know who to talk to. When he saw his schoolmate and good friend, he couldn't help but complain to his friend who was also a teacher in the competition class.
His friend said: "It's no use talking to her class teacher about this. You should talk to whoever invited us here."
Teacher Ji thought about it and agreed.
I have to talk to the principal about this.
The principal was willing to ask him and his good friend to lead the competition class, which means that the principal was ambitious about the competition results.
He didn't mean to ask Jiang Ning to completely give up on her performance there, he just hoped that she could focus more on the competition.
Principal Sun is a very tall and muscular man with thick black hair combed back in a slicked-back style. He looks to be only in his forties. Judging from his appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that he is the principal of a key high school.
After listening to Teacher Ji, Principal Sun tapped the table with his pen and said, "It depends on the student's own willingness." But he really wanted to improve the performance of the competition class. After thinking about it, the principal asked him again, "Is this student really so insightful?"
Teacher Ji showed the test papers to the principal, allowing him to compare Jiang Ning's test papers with those of others. "She has only been here for a month, and she has already achieved such a good result. If she can spend more time, I will teach her for another year. Then, maybe our school will be able to achieve good results in the competition next year!"
Principal Sun couldn't help but be moved.
Their No. 1 Middle School has always been surpassed by Wuzhong in terms of competition results. In Wucheng, when people talk about Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School, they always say that Wuzhong is the best school in Wucheng. This also makes the top students in the junior high schools below always choose Wuzhong as their first choice when filling out their high school entrance examination applications, and No. 1 Middle School is only their second choice. Or if their grades are not that good and they feel that it is not safe for them to get into Wuzhong, they will choose No. 1 Middle School as their first choice.
In fact, the test score of No. 1 Middle School is only a dozen points lower than that of Wuzhong.
But it has to be not low. With the same score, people will go to Wuzhong instead of No. 1 Middle School. In the long run, the good students will all go to Wuzhong, and No. 1 Middle School can only pick up the remaining students from Wuzhong. By then, Wuzhong will only get better and better, and the gap between No. 1 Middle School and Wuzhong will only get bigger and bigger.
Even if he used various preferential policies such as scholarships and tuition waivers to attract some high-quality students, there were still too few of them.
If we want to solve this problem fundamentally, we still have to improve the competition results of No. 1 Middle School so that people will not only think of Wuzhong when talking about the best high school in Wuzhong. In fact, the faculty and admission rate of No. 1 Middle School are only slightly worse than those of Wuzhong, but this is also a difference in the source of students.
The best students all entered Wuzhong. No matter how hard their teachers tried to teach the students, the gap could not be made up by the teachers alone.
Principal Sun is in his prime, and is fully focused on his career and the desire to improve the school's performance.
"I know what's going on. I'll have the Academic Affairs Office fully support your competition class. Just focus on getting the results. I'll talk to Teacher Wang about the students."
He asked someone to call the head teacher of Class 3 of Grade 1 to his office.
When Teacher Wang heard the principal calling him, his heart skipped a beat and he knew what was going on.
Sure enough, Principal Sun told me about Teacher Ji: "Teacher Ji told me about Jiang Ning in your class. She has only been in the competition class for a month, and she has achieved such results. She has learned better than many students who have been in the competition class for more than three months. She is indeed very insightful."
Teacher Wang argued with the principal: "I don't know if she has the savvy to compete, but her monthly exam results are better than her midterm exam results. With her current results, if she works harder, she can get into the top ten universities."
Every additional student admitted to a prestigious university in their high school is extremely beneficial to the publicity of their school, and the temptation is also very great.
With more students admitted to famous universities, the following students will give priority to No. 1 Middle School rather than Wuzhong when choosing a high school to apply to.
This did not make the principal feel embarrassed. Instead, it was Teacher Wang's words that made Principal Sun discover a bright spot.
"You said she did very well in the monthly exam this time?" Principal Sun said with surprise, "Teacher Ji thought she did so well in the exam because she put all her energy into the competition class. I didn't expect that this student is even better than we thought. She did so well in the competition class, and her own class's academic performance did not fall behind."
Teacher Wang thought Jiang Ning had focused her main energy on academic performance, which was why she was able to steadily improve on this test. However, after looking at Jiang Ning's test papers, she actually maintained good grades on both sides. Teacher Wang was also amused and said to the principal, "It seems that this little girl still has some energy left."
"It seems that we really have found a good seedling this year." The principal also smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, you are also aware of the embarrassing situation of our No. 1 Middle School now. In terms of the admission rate, our No. 1 Middle School's performance is not worse than Wu Middle School, but as long as No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School are mentioned, everyone generally thinks that Wu Middle School ranks first and our No. 1 Middle School ranks second. When students fill in their applications, they also put Wu Middle School ahead of our No. 1 Middle School. I know that the teachers are working very hard, but if all the good students are snatched away by Wu Middle School, and we can only pick up the students they leave, then we will never be able to surpass Wu Middle School in the future."
"That's why I'm working so hard to improve my performance in the competition class."
As a key teacher in the school's English group, how could Teacher Wang understand this truth?
"I'm afraid that if I spend too much time on the competition, it will delay this student."
Teacher Wang has no selfish motives and only cares about his students, but the principal considers the overall interests of the school.
The principal said: "It's not that I want her to spend all her time on the competition. I think the girl is quite smart. She does well in both her studies and the competition class. She can do both well."
This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to actually do it. Time in high school is already tight, and which student doesn't study very hard?
But Teacher Wang had no choice, as what the principal said was not wrong. He could only pay more attention to Jiang Ning and try his best to prevent her grades from dropping because of the competition class.
Not only did he pay more attention to this student himself, he also contacted the teachers of other subjects and asked them to pay more attention to Jiang Ning's academic performance.
The Chinese teacher was finally in a good mood this time. Jiang Ning's Chinese grades weren't the only thing holding her back, which meant she took his words to heart.
Who doesn’t like students with good grades?
However, they were in charge of more than one class. When they went to other classes to review the papers, they couldn't help but ask the students a question: "Do you know how many points Jiang Ning from Class 3 got?"
The monthly exams don’t count towards rankings, so of course students from other classes don’t know about it.
The teachers couldn't help but say as they held the test papers in their hands: "She scored over 670 out of a total of 750 points, and she's still in the competition class! How come I taught Class 3 the same way I did when I taught you, but she scored so many points, but you only scored so few?"
"Doesn't this also prove that it's not that I didn't teach well, but that you haven't studied hard enough."
The students thought to themselves, Teacher, you taught in the same way, but Jiang Ning was the only one in Class 3 who scored such a high score, not all of them.
However, the teachers only said this. Now the teachers all suspected that Jiang Ning was originally a top student in middle school, but he did not perform well in the high school entrance examination and was relegated to a parallel class.
Some students are like this. They usually do very well in exams, but they do not do well in important exams because their psychological quality is not good.
Thinking of this, they no longer envied Lao Wang from Class 3. They were just afraid that Jiang Ning would be one of them. She usually ranked among the top ten in the grade in exams, but would fail miserably in important tests.
Not only did they think so, the head teachers of Class 1 and Class 2 also thought so, so they were not envious of Mr. Wang from Class 3 for picking up a top student.
Their class is full of top students.
But the students didn't know what the teachers were thinking. When the teacher used Jiang Ning to stimulate them again, they didn't know whether it stimulated them or not. Anyway, the fact that Jiang Ning was a top student had taken root in their hearts. It was normal for a top student to do well in exams. What was there to stimulate?
However, Teacher Xia, who taught the senior math class this year, was in the same math group office. After hearing the freshman math teachers mention Jiang Ning in the office, she smiled and said to the girls in her class when she went to class, "It's said that girls are not as good as boys in high school, and that girls don't have enough stamina. That's all nonsense. There's a girl in the first year of high school who only scored over 500 points in the high school entrance exam, barely passing the score line of No. 1 Middle School. She scored over 670 points in this monthly exam, and she's still in the competition class."
"Do you think girls have enough stamina?" She said to the girls in the class, "If others say you can't hold your breath as well as boys, you have to prove it to them."
Teacher Xia is a very gentle teacher. Her voice is soft, as if she doesn't have much energy. She is not very tall, so her husband is always worried that she can't control her students. He comes to her class every day to help her manage the students and the class. He is more like a class teacher than Teacher Xia.
When it was time for evening self-study in the evening, the students arrived at the competition class one after another. Teacher Ji had already arrived. Before the class started, he distributed the test papers to the students. Because it was not a formal exam and the exam time was only 45 minutes, basically no one finished the test paper, so most of the scores were not high. Everyone looked at each other's scores after getting the test papers.
The main reason is that their scores are too terrible, so terrible that they begin to doubt their lives. They simply cannot believe that this is a score they could have gotten. Yet, they cannot help but look at others’ scores to see if they are the only ones who did so poorly.
After seeing the results, I felt relieved, as I wasn’t the only one who did so badly in the exam.
Except for Jiang Ning, all the students in the competition class were from the two key classes. The teachers of the key classes did not use Jiang Ning's grades to stimulate them in class, mainly because there was nothing to stimulate them. They did not know Jiang Ning's monthly exam results, and were not curious about how Jiang Ning performed at this time. They only wailed about their own results after getting their test papers.
"71 points."
"I'm seventy-nine."
"I'm only 65, and I haven't even finished the questions. They're too difficult!"
They are all ranked in the top dozens in their grade, but they have never done so badly in math. They are all tortured by the Mathematical Olympiad.
The main reason was that they had never been exposed to Olympiad mathematics before, and they thought it was just like learning mathematics normally. Who knew it would be much more difficult than usual.
Jiang Ning didn't join their conversation because she wasn't familiar with them. However, the girls in the class saw Jiang Ning sitting alone in the back and didn't say anything. They poked her arm curiously and asked her, "Jiang Ning, how much did you score?"
When the others heard this, they turned around and looked over curiously. In their opinion, Jiang Ning had only been in the competition class for such a short time, and a lot of the content was learned before, which Jiang Ning had never learned before. He would definitely be ranked last in this exam.
Jiang Ning raised his head and smiled, raising the paper in his hand: "I got 82."
